Bill Callahan - Bowery lyrics
[Bill Callahan - Bowery lyrics]
My grandfather died a Bowery (bum?)
My grandfather died son of an Irishman
On the Bowery oh on the Bowery
My father tried to find his bones
And to his trials I added my own
My grandfather left my father twice
Second time was on his wife's advice
Straight back to the Bowery
Straight back to the Bowery
Well I'm new here where can a fella eat?
I'm new here where can a fella sleep?
I'm new here, and I've got a pit in my gut
On the Bowery on the Bowery
And when he came up from
The river of methadone
He took his last breath on the Bowery
He took his last breath on the Bowery
My grandfather died son of an Irishman
On the Bowery oh on the Bowery
My father tried to find his bones
And to his trials I added my own
My grandfather left my father twice
Second time was on his wife's advice
Straight back to the Bowery
Straight back to the Bowery
Well I'm new here where can a fella eat?
I'm new here where can a fella sleep?
I'm new here, and I've got a pit in my gut
On the Bowery on the Bowery
And when he came up from
The river of methadone
He took his last breath on the Bowery
He took his last breath on the Bowery
